Our school district is inviting students in grades 9-11 to participate in the 2025 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS). This survey is voluntary and has been conducted in schools across our state every three years since 1989. The survey is anonymous and confidential. The privacy of students is protected, as students do not provide their names, student identification numbers, or other personal information. No individual or their families can be identified. The results are reported on our students as a whole.

Questions on the survey asks students about their activities, opinions, behaviors and experiences. Students respond to questions on school climate, bullying, out-of-school activities, healthy eating, emotional health, substance use and connections with school and family. Questions about sexual behaviors are asked only of high school students. This information is used by communities and schools to develop effective programs and provide better services for students. 

The survey is administered online. Students will have the ability to read the questions or have the questions read to them through the technology they use to access the survey. The survey takes approximately 25 minutes, or half a class period, to complete.

Our school district has informed parents of such surveys in the past and now federal law also requires us to notify parents of this school activity. The Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) will be administered in our high school on March 26 . If you would like to review the survey please contact Jinah Schad (see contact information below).

For additional support on how to review the survey, or if you have any questions about the survey, please contact Jinah Schad, Academic Testing and Systems Support Specialist at: 952-928-6054 or schad.jinah@slpschools.org

Students may also decline to take any part of the survey, or the whole survey, and are informed of that option by staff on the day of survey administration. If you do not want your student to participate in the Minnesota Student Survey, please know that we will be sharing links to a passive consent form/notice to parents by mid-March with a reminder that this survey will be administered in April. These forms will allow you to opt your student out of the survey.

There are a variety of beliefs about standardized tests.  Movements across the country have encouraged families to opt out without understanding the impact it has on students and schools. Ultimately, we believe these tests provide vital information on how the district as a whole is or is not providing rigorous instruction for all students. 



We encourage SLP families to continue their learning and understanding about standardized tests.  To find out more information please visit our website LINK here.
